Get Fur-rocious In a Fur-Trimmed Jacket

Whether you’re snuggling into a fuzzy collar or luxuriating in a knee-length fur coat, you know that the addition of plush animal textiles takes any jacket to new levels of warmth. Find the right dosage of furry flair for your style and revel in cozy comfort.

Nothing ups the luxury of a garment than a touch of fur. Whether it’s a little or a lot of fuzz, adding a fur-trimmed jacket to your wardrobe is always a good decision.

Inner Warmth

For a jacket that truly keeps the cold off, choose one with an interior lined in thick fur. Though the fur will only be visible when the jacket is undone, its primary function is to insulate you from the elements, and it does so effectively. When the outer part of the jacket is leather or another non-porous material, you’ll only have to wear the thinnest of T-shirts underneath even when temperatures are frigid. Let some of the fuzzy lining peek out when you’re feeling frisky.

Just a Bit

Whether it’s a subtle leopard collar or luscious fox fur cuffs, adding fur in small doses gives an upgraded look to your standard wool and leather coats. Those small sections of fur do more than you might expect for your warmth given their strategic locations at the openings of the coat, creating a flexible but breathable barrier between your neck and wrists and the cold wind. Go for an aviator jacket with a shearling collar atop a minidress, thigh-high boots and a beanie for a sexy twist on transitional dressing.

Bold Swaths

One modern way to incorporate fur into your jacket is having a portion of the garment covered in a thick, eye-catching pelt. Shaggy wool and bold mink offer a textural component to your look that turns heads, and the limited coverage of the fur keeps the jacket looking fresh. A partially furry jacket in ebony works wonders for a blackout look because the mix of materials prevents the inky palette from looking flat. Wear a biker jacket trimmed in Mongolian wool alongside a pair of ripped black skinny jeans and Chelsea boots and you’ll have mastered cold weather wear.

All Over

Of course, nothing says ‘fabulous’ like a full-on fur coat. What once might have read “grandma” gets a fresh update with fur coats in unexpected colors and voluminous shapes. Go for an outrageous muppet coat in a pastel shade atop a monochromatic white look to stand out from the crowd, or go more classic with a tan fox coat over relaxed boyfriend jeans and a white tee.

A bit of fur can mean the difference between a so-so coat and a fabulous jacket. Invest in fur that will last you through years of chilly weather.

Forget your basic peacoat— fur-trimmed jackets are the real deal.
